ranches
Cowboy workplace spreads
Ranches are large farms, especially in the American West, devoted primarily to raising livestock such as cattle, horses, or sheep on extensive grazing land.
The term extends to any large agricultural property: dude ranches offer tourists a taste of cowboy life, while chicken ranches raise poultry.
Ranch also functions as a verb meaning to work on or manage such a property: Her family has ranched in Montana for four generations.
